- 1 What is that which you would not like to keep and yet you would not do without it.
The bed. 2 Four stick standers
Four belly banders
Two crooks two loops
Ans a whip about.
A bow3 What always follows the train it is good to
And yet it cannot go without it?
The noise it makes.4 The more you take out of it, the bigger you make it.
A hole in the ground. 5 I went up and down the boreen and through the boirín on my back.
A ladder. 6 Why is a shoemakers shop like hell?
Because it is full of bad soles. 7 What is the best way to save your soul.
To walk on your heel.
